It’s hard to provide a rating and feedback on something I fortunately did not need to use. I THINK it covered everything I might have to worry about.

Grumble, grumble,
I filed a claim for an Interrupted trip in May. NW requested additional info on July 9, 2022. I sent the info the next day. On Aug 22 I called and they confirmed that they had the info but the 60 day processing clock restarts with the additional info. Called again today 9/9/22 and the claim has not been processed. They will label for "Expedited audit" which should take 2-3 more weeks. I have purchased several Luxury Cruise policies and NW customer treatment is very poor. Once they get the additional info the clock should not start over. I am booking another cruise next week. Can you recommend a company with a comparable policy that has better customer service?
Thx
UPDATE Dec 6, 2022
My original claim was denied so I filed an appeal. On October 10 they asked for further documentation. I supplied the info on October 12th. As of Dec 6th I still do not have a disposition. I called Coordinated Benefits Plan (CPB) for an update and their systems have been down for two days. How is this any way to run a business?
UDATE Dec 7, 20022
CBP computers down for a 3rd day. They took my phone number and said they would call me when systems are back up. I decided to call Nationwide Customer Relations and opened a complaint. The agent will notify the proper insurance group at Nationwide of the delays and will call me back within two days. Stay tuned.
Final update 12/8/2022
Received an email from CBP that my claim will be paid in full. It shouldn't take 9 months to resolve a simple claim such as this one. At this point it is not delays related to the Covid shut down. Maybe they should have an Operations Mgr look at their workflow. Happy Holidays...

Didn't have any incidents where the insurance was needed. However the peace of mind that IF anything did occur, we were covered.

Due to the pandemic we did not travel. All parties involved were cooperative and issued a refund.

We purchased the Luxury Policy through Nationwide for our retirement trip of a lifetime. We were to be gone 2.5 months. It included a 21 day cruise and then island hopping around French Polynesia, then flying to Australia to go to the Great Barrier Reef. Our cruise began in Sydney Australia on 2/28/20, we were supposed to disembark in Tahiti on 3/20/20. Due to COVID-19, our cruise was interrupted and we were sent home from Hawaii. We had 4 flights included in the covered cost of our policy: the flight to Sydney, island hopping flights around French Polynesia, the flight from Tahiti to Cairns, the flight from Cairns back to our home in California. We were fortunate and obtained refunds on two of the flights we did not utilize (thank you Air Tahiti and Expedia). The third, the flight from Tahiti to Cairns was not refunded and was denied by coverage by Nationwide. They said they do not cover pre-purchased flights that you are not able to utilize after a trip interruption. They would only be covered in the event of a trip cancellation. The total we are out is $1,246. I have to say, I'm not impressed! When you insure the value of a trip, including all of the costs that are non-cancellable and non-refundable, the coverage should reimburse for the insured costs that a traveler is out of pocket. They refuse to do so. I also acknowledge that some policies do not cover the expenses due to a pandemic, that is not the case with our policy because we purchased it in October, 2019, long before we had heard of COVID-19. Buyer, be careful to determine what is covered and what is not. I have purchased 5 or 6 Nationwide Luxury Cruise policies in the past and not had any issues. This is a first, but after paying $814 in premium to cover a 2.5 month trip and coming home after 1 month, and finding out that they will not reimburse me for this flight, I'm very disappointed in the Nationwide Luxury Cruise policy coverage.

It was very comforting knowing we had a solid, dependable insurance provider during our recent cruise. With all of the health concerns world-wide right now, we were so glad we purchased our policy well in advace of our trip!

We LOVE Nationwide's cruise insurance plans. On this trip, we had a medical claim and an itinerary change claim for a missed port. Both were handled promptly and paid in full.
